Caution! Wireless Networking: Preventing a Data Disaster

In this chapter, I presented different ways to protect your Wi-Fi data by implementing a backup and recovery plan and protecting your hardware from electrical anomalies. These topics included:

• Threats to your Wi-Fi data

• Determining what you should back up

• How often you should back up

• Choosing a storage method

• Selecting media for backups

• Important things to consider, including speed, capacity, and reliability

• Backing up via the Internet

• Different backup software

• Protecting your hardware from power surges and spikes

• Proper maintenance

It is a good practice for any home user to follow a regular backup schedule. And, you should also deploy the appropriate power protection with an optional lightning arrestor and an approved grounding system to protect your systems from electrical threats.
